Free piano recital at theater Sunday

Music lovers have a treat in store on Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Center theater when John Gibson, son of the Center's weather forecaster, and Teresa Videgar will perform a duo-piano recital. All local residents are invited to the free concert.

Young Gibson is well known in the local area because of his many performances in recent years. This will be his last recital before graduating from Burroughs High School and moving on the college, where he will major in piano.

Ms. Videgar, a Fontana resident, is a senior at California State University, Fullerton, and plans to continue her studies toward a doctorate. Both she and Gibson are stu­dents of Dr. Gary Davenport, as well as other noted teach­ers and performers.

Both the pianists at Sunday's concert have received a number of awards for their outstanding perfonnances in California and Nevada.

Following the recital, a reception will be held at the Heritage Village clubhouse in Ridgecrest.

Need help filling out tax forms?

Center library proveds resources The Center Library has resources avail­

able to assist the public in filling out in­come tax forms .

The material is prepared and provided by the IRS in cooperation with many of the nation's libraries. Useful aids include audio cassettes containing simple line-by·line in­structions for filling out federal forms

'I04OEZ ; I040A and Schedule I; and form 1040 and Schedules A,B, and W.

Many IRS publications are available for reference. One that can help taxpayers

prepare their individual tax retw'us is Publication 17, " Your Federal Income Tax." Federal tax laws which apply to business persons and fanners are explain­ed in Publication 334, "Tax Guide for Small Business," and Publication 225 "Farmers Tax Guide."

Publication 1194, specifically designed for libraries, is a set of the IRS's most re­quested publications and a helpful refer­ence guide.

Reproducible tax forms are contained in

Publication 1132. This allows a taxpayer to easily photocopy more than 90 of the most commonly used federal tax forms.

Librarians are not tax experts, the IRS stresses. They will be able to direct the publice to these useful tax aids. Further assistance can be obtained through the IRS office in Bakersfield.

The library is open 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. week days and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Kern leaders hear Skipper talk about Center During the past year military and

civilian personnel at NWC totaled more than 6,600 and obligational funding authori­ty reached $719 million, Capt. K. A. Dickerson told the 2,200 conferees attending the 28th annual Kern County Business Outlook Conference in Bakersfield Wed­nesday.

The Center's Commander added that local area contractor support was up to 1,600 in Fiscal Year 1985, and major con­tracts ran $97 million.

In noting that almost $30 million has been spent to recover from the flood of 1984, he added that work continues to make sure that such a flood doesn't happen again. This work is being handled by Kern County con­tractors.

"We're finally adequately staffed after years of working short-handed," Capt. Dickerson said. liTo be truthful, we have simply run out of places to put people."

He told the audience at Bakersfield Civic Auditorium that funding figures for FY86 are pretty much a rerun of last year, and that, allowing for inflation, the Center will be spending about $30 million more in FY86 than in the previous year,

In addition, the Skipper said, over the next three years, the Center plans to invest more than $250 million to replace aging and obsolete facilities.

As well as discussing the Center's economic position in relationship to Kern County, the Skipper also presented an overview of Naval aviation in this year honoring its diamond anniversary.

He commented that one of the two Curtiss biplanes ordered by the Navy on May 8, 1911 (which is listed as the birthday of Naval aviation) had a top speed of 45 miles per hour, and that only in 1922 was the first aircraft carrier designated by the Navy­a USS Langley, a rebuilt cruiser.

While even the largest carrier in the Fleet today has a deck space equivalent to about four football fields in size, Capt. Dickerson noted that the Center 's longest runway is about 10,000 feet , and its airfield is about 11,000 acres. About 20,000 landings a year are made at Armitage Airfield.

The aircraft carrier Nimitz, Capt. Dickerson added, has a landing area of less than 400 feet. He commented that it's really difficult to try to find that in the middle of the ocean on a moonless night. " It's been

said," the Skipper continued, " that trying to land on a carrier is like trying to stop your car going ISO miles per hour in SO feet, while the road moves along at 20 miles per hour. "

The Center Commander concluded his remarks on the morning panel that "the future is lOOking bright, but it means a lot of hard work ahead of us. But working hand-in-hand with the Kern County Com· munity, we know that any goal is possible."

Other panelists at the morning session of the annual conference included Charles E . " Pete" Adolph, technical director of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base; Ernest W. Hahn, a major shopping center developer; Mike Fitch, vice president for agribusiness affairs with Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco; Earl F . Cheit, professor of business and public policy at the University of California Berkeley; Rodney Nahama, co-founder of Nabama & Weagant Energy Corporation of Bakersfield ; AI Davies, senior vice presi­dent for resources with Zond Systems ; Michael Carpenter, publisher of " Ad­Week;" and Ernie Banks, former baseball Hall of Farner.

Integrated CAE software package demonstrated The Sidewinder Airframe MODS Pro­

gram at ' The Naval Weapons Center recently demonstrated a software com­puter package that integrates a variety of mechanical engineering design, analysis, and test functions. The demonstration resulted from an experiment conducted by the Computer·Aided Engineering Support Office (CAESO) and involved the applica· tion of CAE capabilities that had been under development at NWC since 1981. These capabilities were initially started in the ThermaVStructures Branch (Code

3242), and they were subsequently developed to completion by the Sidewinder Airframe MODS Program (Code 3983).

The software allows an engineer to develop engineering data that includes geometry information, analysis data , and test data in a unified data base that can access and be accessed by other engineer­ing data bases. The demonstration showed how the CAE software could be used in conjunction existing in-house engineering design, analysis, and test tools to provide a much enhanced capability for NWC

engineers. Although CAE has been an integral part

of NWC's research-and"evelopment efforts since the early 1960's, vast improvements in computer hardware and software during the past five years have produced a dramatic increase in the overall quality and capability of CAE.

Since 1980 there has been a proliferation of CAE hardware and software, resulting in a variety of engineering tools the are not always compatible.

In 1981, NWC recognized the growing

problem of incorporating the rapidly ex­panding CAE capabilities into an existing engineering design environment that was based on centralized mainframe com­puters, general-purpose software, and remote test facilities. This realization resulted in an Independent Exploratory Development Program (lED) to conduct an evaluation of the analysis and test capabil· ities available in-house. The initial effort was centered on experimental structural dynamics (modal analysis ) capabilities, but subsequent funding from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) 6.2 Struc­tures Technology Block expanded the effort to include the development of integrated CAE structural dynamiCS and flutter anal­ysis capabilities. Results from this work showed that a minicomputer-based exper· imental modal analysis system offered the most versatility and was best suited for developing an integrated design/analysis/ test capability for NWC.

In 19113 the Center purchased two VAX lInso super-minicomputers to be used as the focal point for combining the engineer­ing analYSis and lest functions. These \ minicomputers were installed in the En­vironmental Engineering Branch (Code 3665) where a significant portion of the Center's structural test capability resides. Also, at that time a minicomputer-based experimental modal analysis software package, MODAL-PLUS, was acquired from The Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC).

AIter the initial testing and analysis ca­pabilities were established, it quickly became apparent that a broader mechanical·design analysis capability could be utilixed. Consequently, another SDRC CAE software package, the In­tegrated Design Engineering Analysis System (I-DEAS), was evaluated. In addi­tion to many advanced design, analysis, and test capabilities, the I-DEAS software contained modules to access and translate information contained in various in-house ·

Fire Division offers advice on survival on hotel fire

Would you know what to do when you are on travel in a strange hotel and smell smoke or hear the fire alarm going of[ in the hallway? In any case, your prime ob­jective should be to leave the hotel at the first sight of smoke.

Super-heated fire gasses (smoke) and panic will almost always be the cause of death long before the fire arrives, if it ever does. This is very important. You must know how to avoid smoke and panic to sur­vive a hotel fire . With this in mind, the Center Fire Division offers the following fire and safety tips for NWC travelers stay­ing in hotels:

If you smell smoke, call the Fire Department, not the front desk.

If you smell smoke or hear the fire alarms, prepare to leave your room.

Take your room key. You may need it to retreat to your room. Leave all of your belongings in the room.

Feel the door with the hack of your hand. If it's cool, open it slowly just a crack. See if there is any smoke. If the hall appears clear, head (or the nearest exit. If you en­counter smoke or fire and a secondary exit is not readily available, retreat to your room.

If you are trapped, stay caim and keep your door closed.

Place wet towels or bed sheets around the door to keep smoke from entering your room.

Open, don't break the window. If there is smoke outside, leave the window closed.

Slay low in smoke. Fresh air is near the floor .

If you discover a fire in the hotel or if the fire starts in your room, activate the fire alarm and go to the fire exit. When clear of the building, call the fire department.

When you are staying in a hotel use the following checklist:

Ask about lhe fire alarm signal and evacuation plans that the hotel may have. Obtain a copy and read it.

Check for smoke detectors. You should bring your own to be on the safe side. They are reasonably priced in most department stores.

Check for the closest two exits to the out-

side. Do not consider the elevator. Count the number of doors between your

door and the exit stairs. In smoke you may not be able to see the exit door.

Make sure the fire exit is not locked or blocked and does lead outside.

Instruct persons traveling with you to gather in a designated meeting place out­side the building. Be specific.

Write down the fire department telephone number and make sure that you know how to dial it from your room.

Have your room key and a set of clothes available within reach of your bed.

Remember to pack certain safety items that may help you in the event of a fire:

Smoke detector. Not a big elaborate alarm system, but a simple battery operated unit that you can hang from the ceiling or drapes.

Flashlight. A penlight will do. Two-inch-wide tape. This could be used 10

seal the door of your room to prevent smoke and other poisonous products of combustion from getting into your room.

Even though the fire alarms are ringing, lake a second bang on your neighbor 's door on your way by. There is no such thing as too many fire alarms.

Nordic ski touring: A winter adventure Cross-country skiing enthusiasts will be

hard pressed to find more appealing ski country than the Sierra Nevada's eastern slope. From Kern Plateau to Virginia Lakes near Bridgeport, the eastern Sierra region offers skiing for beginners as well as terrain to challenge the most experienced Nordic skier.

From skiing snow-covered roads in the Inyo and Toyiabe National Forests, to ski­ing steep canyons of the Lone Pine and In­dependence areas, skiers can choose trails to suit their experience level and need for a challenge.

To make it even easier for area skiers, the Naval Weapons Center's Recreational Services Department rents cross-country ski packages through the Camping Issue section of the NWC Gym. They offer a good selection of waxless skis along with boots and poles. Skiers can even rent car-top ski racks from the gym.

Mammoth Lakes attracts more Nordic skiers than any other part of the Inyo Na­tional Forest.

Three ski areas within the Mammoth area account for the build of use : The Lakes Basin, reached by following Lake Mary Road to the winter closure point; Mammoth Meadows, out Old Mammoth Road to the Sierra Meadows Touring Center and Shady Rest, behind the Inyo National Forest's visitor center at the edge of Mammoth Lakes Village.

Lakes Basin and Mammoth Meadows of­fer set and groomed trails, ski rentals and cross-country lessons in addition to being the starting point for marked, but ungroomed forest service trails. Shady Rest has no groomed trails, but includes more than 10 kilometers of marked trails winding through forested land to Inyo Craters.

Lands in the White Mountain Ranger District provide almost as much skiing 0p­

portunity as the Mammoth Ranger District of the Inyo. Bishop Creek and Rock Creek drainages are the popular Nordic destina­tions.

Bishop Creek Lodge, on the South Fork Road, provides not only 26-miles of groom­ed trails, but a complete ski center with a ski school. Bishop Creek Road is plowed as far as Aspendell on the Lake Sabrina fork and to Bishop Creek Lodge. There is an additional four kilometers of trails marked by the forest service in the Four Jeffrey Campground and the road to Lake Sabrina is a popular path for visitor use.

Rock Creek Road is plowed about six miles from Highway 395, or to within about two miles of the Rock Creek Winter Lodge. It also offers a fuJI ski center and provides lodging, meals, guided ski tours and a hack-country hut system for patrons.

The Sierra region above 8,000 feet is usually blanketed with abWldant snow at least through April, and some years well into May. Skiers can take advantage of ex­cellent conditions on most days. Clear skies, towering alpine peaks, tall trees and a feeling of relative isolation are part of the cross-country experience.

Unless the skier wishes, he or she need not be concerned with crowds and they never worry about lift lines.

Away from groomed trails provided (for a fee ) by Nordic resorts, backcountry skiers can enjoy all the solitude they like. It is, for many, a new kind of wilderness ex­perience. And, for the experienced skier, a challenge few places can equal.

Skiers who plan to enter wilderness areas are reminded they still need to obtain a wilderness pennit, even in the dead of winter.

Cross country skiing is a unique experi­ence and one time can get a person hooked.

Party boats are popular

Anglers heading out to sea on the daily "bottom.fisbing" party boats from Morro Bay are also able to watch the whales mak­ing thei~ way south to their breeding spols at Scammon's Lagoon.

In addition to their having a fun day at sea. they are averaging a catch of 13 fish each. Most of the fish caught are varieties of rock cod and bass. along with lots of red snapper. Some anglers are also bringing back lingcod and rock sole.

Anglers can make arrangements to go out on the boats leaving each morning at about 7 a.m. in such a way that they can also rent salt water tackle if they do not own any. Fishing boat owners ordinarily provide bait. and licenses (for anyone not holding a valid California 1986 license) can be purchased when arrangements are made to take one of the o~y trips.

Anglers hit Lake Isabella

Anglers enjoyed the beautiful weather last weekend. both in the Owens Valley and at Lake Isabella. and bad good success with the fish while tbey did so. Htmters merely got a good outing in pleasant weather because birds in species that could be hunted were scarce.

At Lake Isabella more than 130 to 150 boats hit the 1i8ter. Bass weighing from 10 to 15 pounds each were caught by anglers who !mow where the deep boles can be

.found. Bass fishermen who beaded north to tbe Ow..,. Valley also bad success if they fished tbe area east of tbe Black Rock fish hatchery. Nigbtcrawlers and crawdads are· good bait.

Trout fishing at Isabella was really bot. 1be average trout caught weighed about two pounds. many weighed up to siI pounds. and ooe monster tipped tbe scales at nine 8IId a half pounds. Most of these trout were planted about a year to two years ago. and bave been gorging themselves on sbael.

Best trout fishing is from shore at points ,all around the lake. 1be fish seem to prefer red salmon eggs in combination with white rnarshmallows. although many also like nightcrawlers.

Department <#. Fis.'! 8IId Game personnel suggest that if any rain falls. fishing should be especially good wherever any of the creeks enter Lake Isabella.

Anglers who want more of a cballenge than nonna! winter fishing provides can drive a couple of hours more and fish Topaz Lake on tbe California-Ne'/aLla border. This lake. bordered by Highway 395 produces Iropby-class fish and opened for 1986 on Jan. 1. A California license is good on the lake. Be sure to dress wannly.

Additionally. the annual Bishop Chamber of Commerce Blind Bogey Trout Tourna­ment is coming up In March of this year as anglers start to think about the general trout season that looms in late April.

Championships next month

Military personnel from China Lake are eligible to take part In 1986 Southern Pacific Sports Conference championships.

Coming up nen month are championship competitions in bowling and darts. Port Huenwne will hos: bowlers on Feb. 1 and 2. Regional finals will be set at NAS North Island on Feb. 24-28.

Darts competition Is now slated for Naval Station San Diego on Feb. 22.

Both events are open to military men and women. For more information call the NWC Sports Branch at NWC ext. 2334 be­fore Jan. 20.

QUESTION Civilian empley.., - I'm a machiuist 8IId my mission is to support all aspects

of tests on the ranges. Most wort bas no lead time and no two jobs are the same. Our problem concerns the supply system. Warehouse 26. The supply system is not compatible' to our type of mission. Nine out of ten times. we have to substitute materials because they do not bave wbat we need. which drives up time and cost. When we substitute it. I asswne the computer orders more substitute material. ....bich we didn't want in the first place. I have been on base four years and have seen the problem go from bad to worse. Our Code is not the only one having this problem. I suggest you walk through the yard and observe the empty racks. Thank you. ANSWER

One of the most difficult problems we deal with in providing supply support is the one you describe. You state that most of your work has no lead time and no two jobs are the same. and I do not doubt that is the case. Such demands are very difficult to meet. both for yourself and for those who have the responsibility to meet your material needs. The key to making the situation better is communica­tions. You are correct that the computer reorders only what material the customers withdraw from stock. and does not reorder items for which there has been liWe or no demand. (Most of the empty racks you mention are due to lack of recorded demand. ) Once a substitute item is ordered. the supply people (and "the computer" you refer to) have no way to know what a customer really

wanted and couldn·t get. unless they are told. In fact. as you noted. more of the substitute material will probably be ordered. unless there is hwnan intervention. You. as a customer. can make the system work much better by making your projected needs known so that the correct material can be considered for stock­ing. regardless of past demand. While space and funding limitations prevent stocking everytiling which might be needed. our supply people will stock needed items if expected use justifies the investment. Specific stocking problems and possible solutions. Including identification of critical Items and expected usage. may be explored ~y contacting Patti Patin. Code C2551. NWC ext. 2398.

QUESTION MIlItary - I and several others 1 wor1< with are concerned about a situation

occurring at the dental clinic bere on base. Now that they are seeing dependents. which. yes. is a great idea when it·s available. and retirees. I myself had an ap­pointment. saw the dentist. He wanted me back in 2 weeks for further crown work. and I couldn't get an appointment for 5 weeks. When I asked why. because I told them the dentist wanted me back in 2 weeks. no more. I was told because they had to see retirees and dependents. I just had to wait and it was too bad. This isn·t the first time. and It seems to be getting worse and they said now they are booked a month and up to S weeks in advance. Yet. when you're told to go back. and you want to go back. you can·t get in because dependents are in. retirees have an appointment. etc. I think something needs to be done about limiting the amount of time. and if the active military need to get in. then ap­pointments should be cancelled for dependents. It·s getting a little ridiculous when we have to wait 4. S and 8 weeks to return to a dentist for a serious problem. Tha".kyou. ANSWER

I regret that you were bandied in such a manner. All I can do is apologize and assure you that it will not happen again on my watch. I have a new dentist on board now and I am told there is no longer a backlog. I assure you. that active duty patients receive treatment ahead of dependents and retirees. This policy will remain in effecL I do, however, want to provide as much service as I can to our retirees and dependents. They deserve all we can provide. Thank you.

MOVING ON - Dick Johnson, formerly the Center's Director of Safety and Security. and his wife Linda were honored at a farewell party Jan. 16. He Is now Comptroller of the Naval Ocean Systems Center In San Diego. - Photo by PH2 Rick MOOre

Dick Johnson honored on departure for iob at Nose

"You've superbly handled a job whose difficulty very few people can appreciate." Capt. K. A. Dickerson. NWC Commander • told Dick Johnson. "We hate to lose you but you're the hest candidate for the Comp­troller's job at the Naval Ocean Systems Center, and we know that whatever you do, you'll be outstanding."

The Skipper joined with other senior per· sonnel from the Center in making pres­entations honoring Johnson at a farewell party held for the deparllng Director of Safety and Security on Jan. IS. Johnson bas actually already left the Center and assumed his new position in San Diego on Jan.S.

The presenters represented a variety of the organizations on board where Johnson has worked since coming to China Lake as an administrative Junior Professional in 1970.

Prior to that date. he had served in the Marine Corps, attaining the rank of cap­tain. and had received a bachelor's degree from San Diego State University and a master's degree from the University of Califorrua at Riverside.

At NWC he served as assistant or associate department head for the Elec­tronic Warfare Department and the Per­sonnel Department with collateral duty as

Demonstration Project Manager. head of the Resources Group of the Office of Resources and Technology. Laboratory Administrator for the Laboratory Direc­torate. head of staff for the Electronic Warfare Department. and was acting Public Affairs Officer for six months.

All the presenters echoed the words spoken by Don Cortichiato. head of staff for the Safety and Security Deparment. who noted to Johnson that " You've always been known for your integrity. sincerity and hard work ethic. We thank you for having had the opportunity to work with you."

Johnson responded to the nwnerous presentations by noting that " the Indian Wells Valley is a very special place -special because of the people here. I've taken great pride in working at the premier Navy laboratory. My only consolation in leaving is that I'll join Bob Hillyer and a lot of other former China Lake players at NOSC. and perhaps we can build the same sort of culture there that NWC has."

Johnson 's wife. Linda. and their two daughters, Wendi and Yikki. will shortly be leaving Ridgecrest to join him in San Diego

Annual soldering seminar slated

Many ioin in search for missing couple More than 700 persons are expected to attend the 10th Annual Solder­ing/Manufacturing Seminar hosted by the Naval Weapons Center on Feb.l~!J. A number of civilian members of tbe

center's two search and rescue teams were joined by pilots from Air Test 8IId Evalua­tioo Squadroo Five in a search for a mis&­ing Goleta couple in the Saline Valley late la5tweek.

1beir vehicle bad been found in the Saline Valley after having apparenUy been aban­doned for at least a week, 8IId no sign of either Gary Berman. 35. or bIa wife. Louise, 52. could be found. Bennan ..... an experi· enced hiker. but it is not known whether bIa wife also was a biker.

USMC. with HMl Bill Lewis riding in tbe otber seat. 1be belo crews were briefed at 5 a.m. on Jan. 15. 8IId did not make their final landing un­til 5 p.m. after spending more than 71>

hours in the air each. 1be belo crews also flew !ibn found in a

camera in the vehicle down to Bishop so it could he processed to see if this produced any clues to u.; coupIe's disappearance.

Both the anna Lake Mountain Rescue Group and the lndian Wells Valley Search 8IId Rescue team joined in tbe search 00

the ground in the Saline Valley. 1be IWV SAR team arrived at about a

p.m. 01\ Jan. 14 and spent the next two days ~ actively engaged in looking for tbe Ber­mans.

Powered by General Electric's J-79engjne, the Fll-F DOW

on display near Armitage Field once held the world's altitude record, even if it was onlyfOl' a brief period of time.

On AprillB, 1958, Cdr. G.C. Watkins, flying from Edwards AFB, reacbed an altitude record of 76,939.

Fll-Fs fust flew in 1954 and were delivered to the Navy in 1958, but were soon phased out of front-line service because new, superl!Onic, aircraft were developed to replace it.

The Fll-F at Armitage Field still sports the "GE" on the .!ail because it was this experimental model under GE control that set the altitude record. It was destined for the Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard wben Cdr. Tom Mix, Naval Liaison at Edwards, helped bring it to China Lake.

Earlier, in 1957, tmSFll-Fbecame the first Naval aircraft to hit Mach 2, twice the speed of sound. It was also the primary test bed for GE's J-79 engine, one of the most wide­ly sold jet engines of its era.

At the Naval Weapons Center it was used for several years in environmental testing before being pot on static display at the ailfield.

when it flew into ~ projectiles it had fired just seconds before. ' The Fll-F wasaisothe aircraft flown by the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration team for several years.

It was also the first Navy fighter to be designed using the area-ru1e principle, but never gained wide accep­tance by cnmhat aviators.

Along with the XF41H, alsodisptayed at the ailfield, the Fll-F was first viewed by the poblic at Armed Forces Day at the Naval Air Facility in 1969.

More than 250 volunteer lIl8J>ohours by NAF personnel went into getting the aircraft ready for display on that Armed Forces Day.

One Fll-F shot itself down in 1956. The aircraft, flown by a Grumman Aviation test pilot, was knocked out ~f the sky

Compoter equipment valued at about $1,650 was taken from Warehouse 15, ac cording to a report filed with Qlina LakE police.

+++ The Mini Mart reported theft of an elec­

tric grill, and the Navy Exchange reported that another Walkman radio had been stolen.

+++ Unknown persons entered the Public

Works Department compound and removed containers in which excess vehicle parts were stored.

+++ A military man was picked up for driv­

ing under the influence at 2 a .m . Saturday and was held for 5 hours before being cited and released.

+++ On Swlday police located a female sub­

ject that the Kern County Health Depart­ment had been seeking. She is a carrier of a contagious disease that has apparenUy not been responding to treatment with penicillin, and had been a source of infec­tim to others.

+++

When a driver was stopped because hi!, vehicle had a headlight that was not func­tioning, police discovered that he was MV­ing on a suspended license. The driver was cited.

+++ The owner of a horse at the NWC stables

reported that someone had been feeding ber borse. Police remind all area residents that only those who have borses at the stable should be up there, and that it's possible to inadvertantly kill a horse by providing food for it that it is not supposed to have.

+++ Unknown persons removed a quantity of

black stee1 pipe from a supply compound. Value of the missing pipe has not yet been reported.

+++ When a Public Works Department

supervisor requested that a subject depart the work area and the subject refused to comply, China Lake police were called to encourage his leavin~.

+++ An ll-year-old was arrested for damag­

ing nine motorcycles at the BEQ parking

lot. The boy's father, when notified by polic~, came down to the station, pushed past the officers and started physically punishing the boy. Police finally booked him for child abuse and took the boy to ju­venile hall in Bakersfield.

+++ In a burglary reported at Hangar 3,

someone removed a flight jacket from a victim's office.

+++ When a contractor missed making his

turn on South Knox Road and Bowen Avenue, he started backing without looking where he was backing. The vehicle directly behind him was a China Lake police car; he backed into the front end of the police vehicle, causing moderate damage to it.

+++ A military subject TAD at China Lake

became drunk and disorderly at the Enlisted Mess at about midnight, got into an altercation, then went into the parking lot. Once there, using a sharp metal object, he damaged two vehicles. The owner of one vehicle caught him in the act. When police arrived, they arrested the miscreant and turned him over to the military.

Unique software • now In use .. .

(Continuod from Pave 1)

CAE data bases that were of particular in­terestto CAESO.

The I-DEAS software was included in the CAESO workstation experiment during 1984, and successfully demonstrated it could be utilized with a variety of existing monochrome and color graphics tenninals. A principal point that was demonstrated was that Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) data hases could be successfully exchanged hetween I-DEAS and the CAE Service Center. In the ex­periment, a Sparrow tail-fin solid model was converted to an IGES file, and Olen in­terpreted and plotted by Computervision. The experiment also included a transfer in the other direction. A Computervision­generated drawing of the ACIMD inlet was successfully read and plotted by I-DEAS. At the present time, I-DEAS model files of AlM-9M PIP missile seeker parts are being routinely transferred into Computervision by the Missile Seeker Branch (Code 3941 ).

In addition to solids modelling, graphics display, and file transfer capabilities, the I-DEAS software has modules that perform finifAHolement modelling and analysis, ex­perimental modal analysis , experimental fatigue analysis, stroctural dynamics analysis, and data base management.

File transfer capabilities have been . developed through the 6.2 Block work that allow the I-DEAS software to exchange data with other NWC structural and flutter analysis computer codes, such as, NASTRAN,PATRAN,andSAMGEN.

The software package, originally loaned ' to NWC by SDRC, was subsequently leased from the company during 1_. In June of this year the Sidewinder Program Office purchased the software for ..... on the AIM-9M Ailframe MODS Program. It has also been used extensively on the AIM-9M Product Improvement Program (PIP), Tail-Control Sparrow, and Vertical-Launch ASROC (VLA).

Many of the general purpose termin8li' evaluated in the experiment, as well as If others that are I-DE~patible, ar. now in use at the Center and can be used to access the I-DEAS software through DECNET and Ethernet.

NWC frocks 51 sailors to next highest grade FiItY-one sailors from the Naval Weapons

Center were !rocked to the next highest grade at a ceremony held last week. Capl K.A. Dickerson, NWC Commander, also presented 10 special awards at the military quarters ceremony.

Frocking is a process whereby Navy personnel receive all the rights, respon­siblities and privileges of the next higher grade without receiving a raise in pay. Frocking is implemented when the sailor has been selected for promotion but has to wait for a promotion date and the pay raise.

Sailors being frocked last week included:

MRJ David Sigurdson, MSSN Denise lea, Downes, AMH3 James Stephens, AIoj;! AE2 Mark Graham, AMH3 Robert Bryant, David Laird, AZAN Larry Alsobrook, AT2 A03 Anthony Craighead, AMH:I Robert Nonnan Kauppi, ABF2 Robert Read, AD3 Bowennan, AMH3 Thomas Bies, ADAN Alex Javier, MSSN Douglas OUshoim, AT3 David Walker, ASEAN Daniel Nelson, Joel Arlow, AOAN Jacques Gray, ADAN PRAN Steve Lucas, AMMAN Michael Harvey Pierce, ACAN Steven Wright, Butch, ACI Deborah Staples, AE3 Edward ADAN John Reynolds, AQAN David Laird,

IWIIII .. ,.,

AMHAN Guadalupe Martinez, MS3 Jamison Briggs, ADAN Scott Leslie, AD3 German Ydrovo, ET2 John McKinney, AMH3 Robert Bryant and AE3 David Symanietz.

Also frocked were RMSN Richard Meeley, AE3 W111iam Harmon, AOAN Thomas Carew, A03 Homer Twilley, AT3 Ronald Oakley, AK3 Joseph Smith, AQAN Ouistopher Winfield, AT2 Bennie Pascual, AMMAN Leslie Mackey, AME3 Steven Jarrei, ASM3 Kirk Triplett, ASE3 Brett Mackey, AE3 Donald Harlan, AME3 Jonathan lea, ADAN Matthew Rawson and RMSN Janice Mergeson.

Vampires send 20 through frocking process The very special day which rolls around

only twice a year arrived January 16 - the date on which enlisted personnel who have been appointed to a higher rank assume that rank, and on which another group is frocked to the next higher rank.

For more than 20 VX .. Vampires, the ceremony held last week at Hangar One was another major step up the ladder of their careers.

Frocking is a process whereby Navy

personnel receive all the rights and responsibilities, as well as privileges, of the next higher rank without receiving a raise in pay. Frocking is implemented when the individual has been selected for promotion but has to wait for a promotion date, on which the pay raise will take effect.

Leading the list of those appointed last week at VX"'s all hands quarters were YNI Michael C. Johnson, AMS2 Douglas E . Branstetter, AD3 Timothy S. Ineichen, and

11.03 RobertE. Valento. Those frocked as First Class were ADI

Gary K. Gartner and AMHI John D. McGregor. Frocked as Second Class were AMS2 Dickmann K. Carpenter, AQ2 William A. Glenn, AMH2 Terry D. Lowder, AZ2 Sean P . Seery, A02 Melinda C. Chambers, AE2 Paul E . Miller, AME2 Leighton Mitchell , AMS2 Phi11ip D. Owen, and AD2 Richard C. Pauley.

Frocked as Third Class were YN3 Helen

Capt. Marty Phillips, VX .. Conunanding Officer, congratulated each promotee in­dividually and conunended them on their respective achievements.

Dependents not immune from regulations WASHINGTON (NES) ... Everyone in the

Navy has some knowledge of the Uniform Code of Military J ustice. Military members who get into trouble are subject to disciplinary procedurell contained in the UCMJ.

Dependents of military members, for the most part, are not subject to the UCMJ. However, they are subject to other laws, rules and regulations. Federal taws control dependents ' conduct within federal in­stallations. Under the Assimilative Crimes Act, state laws also may apply.

Except for limited cases involving some embassy employees or situations covered by treaty provisions, depeodents and ser· vice members alike are subject to the laws of host nations. Likewise, dependents are not immune from rules and regulations in­cluding abuses of exchange privileges, traffic control and on-base housing.

Most people may not realize that misconduct of Navy dependents may have far-reaching effects. Dependents who

disturb the peace. shoplift, become involv­ed with drugs or commit violent crimes may face punishments and administrative actions that affect not only themselves but their families . This is especially true overseas.

Some foreign legal systems have fewer protections for individual rights than American systems. In addition, offenses considered minor infractions in some parts of the United States can be serious crimes . in a foreign country. For instance, in Greece, the mere possession of drugs is a felony. Individuals may be sentenced to lengthy jail tenns - measured in years , not days or months. Even prosecution for a minor offense may turn into a traumatic affair for the entire family.

One consequence that could r.esult from a family member's committing an offense is the withdrawal of the family 's overseas clearances, which could force a family separation. If service sponsorship is wil~drawn, the family involved may find

themselves without exchange and com­missary privileges or routine medical care. Thus the family would have to live on the overseas economy or return stateside.

Because of one family member's crime, the entire family in base housing may be evicted. Also, the offender may be barred from the base.

Dependents often overlook the serious long-range consequences to their families at the time of the offense. " I didn't realize the effects on my family" is no defense. While those wbo overlooked the conse­quences to their families frequently have second thoughts , it's usually too late, par­ticularly in drug cases.

A JAG office received a letter concerning such a case. The young man in question, a former sailor, expressed the hope that his letter might " help others with similar dif­ficulties. "

Married to an active duty sailor, he lived on base with his wife and child. Cited for drug offenses in their overseas home, he

maintained the search tha t led to the discovery of the drugs was illegal. Never­theless, they were evicted from Navy hous· ing and he was required to leave the coun· try.

The letter reads : " I made a mistake and was caught. For that my punishment ia deportation. But no one has taken into con­sideration how this will affect the rest of my familY'. In a sense they too are being punished. We have been offered no recourse , either for myself or for my fami· Iy."

The young man was correct; the " punishment" did affect his family. But the punishment to which he referred was only the administrative action to remove him from the area. That did not include any ac­tion intended as punishment.

Had he considered beforehand how his conduct might affect his family, he might not have committed the offenses and his family would still be together. Now his family is forced apart.

Center seeks to maximize skills of its employees

Naval Weapons Center takes very seriously the mission of research and development. To complete that mission the Center recognizes the need to max­imize the skills of its personnel. To maximize their resource, NWC has established programs to both recruit new talent. and to maintain. upgrade and develop skills for current personnel.

As an employee at NWC. what is your part in the NWC mission? The obvious answer is to do your job to the best of your ability. But is that the only part? If you are underutilized, if you are not meeting your career goals, if your skills are becoming obsolete. you are not serving the needs of the Center or yourself to the bestofyour ability.

So you have the additional responsiblity of evaluating yourself in terms of how well you meet the needs of the Center and yourself. To begin this evaluation :

1. Where are you? Review your evaluations, your pay, your promotion rate, your skills and how they are used. Use your PMA andlor your supervisor as a resource.

2. Where do you want to be? Review your job series and its growth history and its potential. Establish a time frame to achieve your goal. Your PMA and line managers are useful resources for this assessment.

3. What do you have to work "ilb? Use yourself. supervisors. a PMA andlor an EDS to evaluate the level and marketability of your knowledge. skills and abilities. Then identify the impact of these KSAs on your career goals. Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Then identify your desire and ability to improve the weaknesses and maximize the strengths.

4. What do you need to achieve your goals? After identifying the "where. what and when" of your goals. identify tbe requirements of tbe "what". The X118 is the official guide to basic job criteria. However. position descriptions. PMAs and NWC personnel currently in those series will provide additional data as to actual duties and details of particular jobs.

5. How do you get there? First. dismantle and reassemble your 171. Em­phasize KSAs that are pertinent to your career goal. Review your 171 as if you were tbe selecting official. Would you hire you based on your 171? Get counseling. Career development information is available via classroom and seH-study train­ing. one-to-one sessions with an EDS. a PMA or tbe Upward Mobility Program manager. and through the local colleges.

Generate some positive interest in yourself. Let appropriate people know you are interested in advancement or career changes. Don't be content to wait for someone else to act on your behaH. You are your best advocate because you have the most to gain. Get training before you need it. Whether it is self",tudy. on­the-jab-training, or classroom, Center sponsored or personal initiative, academic or hands-on training is always valuable. As in all things. playing "catch-up" is the hard way to advance. The NWC training divison is constantly upgrading and expanding all levels of training. Keep in contact on a regular basis. not just once a year, at review time. You can't beat the price or the convenience of their pro. grams.
